Healthy!!!

So if we keep in touch often, you probably know that our family was sick - the entire month of January! I will say, we did lots of crafts and baking, spent lots of time in our playroom. I felt like we definitely enjoyed our home during the month of January. We were stuck inside most of the month! As great as we tried to make the time, we are so thankful to finally be healthy! I have turned into that crazy, over the top mom who wants to avoid germy places at all cost. Ronnie said he was going to take the girls to Chuck E Cheese today. . . Are you kidding me? To that place, on a crowded rainy Saturday, after a rainy Friday night? I picture thousands of school age children, covered in nasty germs, spreading their sickness around that place. After a pleading veto, they had a change of plans. Am I being a little over extreme? Most likely. However, we need to be healthy and I need to be able to leave the house during February!
All that being said, it has made me more thankful for the healthy times. I think of my sweet Memaw, who is pretty much house bound all the time. Her health doesn't allow her to get out and about very often, so I have found myself praying more often for her and for little joys to come her way during the day. So what is the good take away from our month of sickness? Better perspective, more thankfulness, and more frequent use of hand sanitizer!
